I love it.<3

Nope. Only weird people use them :laugh: JK nicole

I get that from talking to this girl who sits in front of me. We always talk to each other this way 🙂
 
Ya know, I don't get into this kinda crap too often, but all I'm gonna say is:

Why do you have to? I just avoid such conversations .... they go nowhere.

Anyway, I thought this way funny .... http://www.predictablyirrational.com/?p=704

Sadly enough, they show the exact stereotypes of men and females in today's society....

The stereotypes are the only things they know and remember. In psychology, we learn that people remember stereotype-consistent information very well.

There are so many people who give in to peer pressure and can't help but go along with the stereotype. I usually try to not follow any stereotype. That'll keep people from making assumptions about me. I'll just prove to them how wrong they are :laugh:

In lab this semester, I sit at a table with 3 girls, and sometimes they'll talk about boys from college who were mean or just weird. If I were a stereotypical guy, then they probably wouldn't talk about it because they would think that I'd comment on it. But I just chose to listen to them, and could understand why they would think that.
 
can anyone give me the spark notes version of this whole issue with conan and late night tv? i honestly don't get it at all?

Anyone invest in stocks?

What do you guys think about SYK?


👍 (For the company) My roommate was offered a position at Stryker last year. After taking a quick glance I'd say it looks decent. Better P/E ratio than the industry statistics/averages. From a 10 second peek, it is a better value than most other stocks in the Medical Instrument/device industry.

But you should do your research and crunch the numbers before buying up a significant amount of shares :] Thats always the fun part~

I thought I'd suggest some foodie places for you since you want to enjoy local SF deliciousness while you are here. What kind of places are you looking for ?


We actually have quite a food connoisseur/expert in our class. And he is SF local ! And he is an SDNer ! And he is exceptionally nice and helpful ! If you want good eat places, I can help or he can for sure - his username is Stkrice.
 
How do you guys feel about your siblings - brothers and sisters growing up ?

I'm sooo used to my sister being this little smoochie cuddle bear and now that she has sent me a recent photo of herself and I am kind of puzzled she's not so little anymore. 😎

It is scary to me. I have two sisters, 12 and 17. Girls are the hardest to deal with as an older brother. I tend to be overprotective, but they love that someone is there to watch over them.

LOVE my sister. I will always treat her like a little kid! 😍

My siblings aren't too young ( 18 and 20), so I guess I'm used to them being fairly grown up. I still like to harass them though, I don't think that will ever get old.:meanie:

I don't have any 🙁 I'm the only kid either of my parents had. My step dad has two daughters and a son but they were already adults when he met my mom.

I have one younger brother and two younger sisters. Except my sisters aren't my biological sisters. I talk to my younger sister a lot since we're from the same hometown. She's the mean one :laugh: If she saw this, she would hit me like she usually does for saying things that are mean or rude :laugh:

Instead of spending all that time trying to be skinny, wouldn't you prefer to spend some time to have at least a little bit of muscle? Not saying that you don't have any, but you know what I mean :laugh:

Well, I do 100 sit ups before bedtime every night. My abs are rock solid, my arms need work though...I don't want jello arms when I get older! :laugh:

Ew I hate breakfast... I physically get sick in the morning. I have all I can do to force feed myself a nutrigrain bar and a cup of coffee. I LOVE breakfast food... but I'll eat it later in the day... I have to wait a couple of hours to eat real food.

Growing up in gymnastics most of the girls I know try to get rid of their extra muscles. I hide from the gym as much as possible because I'd honestly rather have less.

Sigh.... such a waste. I miss the days when a woman being able to carry a newborn calf over each shoulder was a definite plus. That's marrying material right there I say.

You would rather work on being (or staying) pretty than being strong? :laugh: I suppose being attractive is important in gymnastics 🙂

I usually don't eat breakfast unless I have time. If I eat breakfast, I have to sit through traffic with all of the slow drivers 🙂laugh🙂 and get to school 30 minutes later than I usually would. Usually in morning traffic, if I see an opening, I'll use all of my horsepower to take that spot. If you ever see someone fly by your car in the empty lane next to you, it could be me :laugh:

In my hometown, there's one place where there are two lanes before a traffic light, and the right lane merges to the left after the traffic light. So sometimes I get on the right lane, and as soon as the light turns green, I race to get in front of the other car and switch lanes.
 
I've gotten better about eating a real breakfast (coco puffs, yum) in the last few weeks.

But yeah, when schedules are tight, a candy bar and an energy drink from the convenience store down the road are the recipe of my success. 👍

Well I guess what I said was kind of misleading... I don't purposely try to not be strong... I just don't want to get stronger. I can pick up my boyfriend and he weighs almost twice as much as I do. I can do a lot of other stuff that requires strength but I would just never ever lift weights on top of that because I would be jacked looking and that's not really what I want (if had no physical activity at all then maybe I would lift some light ones).

As far as breakfast goes... for some reason if I go more than 3 hours with no food I get really dizzy and shaky and feel like I'm going to throw up. My mom says she's hypoglycemic and she eats these glucose tablets from Walgreens, but I'm not so sure about all that. I just eat nutrigrain bars from the gas station and coffee... but if I'm home... completely different story. I make coffee and shower and hang out on SDN for a while... then I wait til I feel okay (I'm telling you... me and mornings do not get along)... then I will make better food.

You sound like me when you drive. I'm actually a very good driver... I have no points on my license and I have pretty low insurance. It's just so tempting to drive fast... I know how you feel.
 
I said CALF, not ARMORED BATALLION.

I was thinking more like:

proper healthy farmer's wife imo
👍

Well yeah she looks perfectly fine to me... like a normal woman. She's not all HARD. That's what I'm trying to avoid is being hard. LOL

More muscle means you're skinnier.

Girls are scared of "buffing" up, but it's really difficult and hard for girls to do that without taking a lot of hormone/etc supplements.

If you work out your muscles a lot, you'll have a really nice body. End of story.

I hate those wimpy girls who pick up the 2 lb. barbells and do a few things and that's the end of the workout. It makes girls look bad!

I think some cardiovascular workouts are necessary to obtain that nice body. I have seen a lot of people with not so nice bodies only lift weights.
 
When I was hard core into gymnastics and stuff I actually did bulk up a lot more than I had intended. There are certain exercises you can do at the gym with weights that won't make you jacked, but if you use a lot of the specific muscles you do in tumbling, etc then your shoulders will bulk up and your legs get a lot bigger too. This doesn't happen to every girl probably due to genetics and eating habits, but if you eat normal and really practice a lot then you can sometimes tell. A lot of the college gymnasts are obviously really really strong and it's noticeable... they don't look bad but it's just not a personal preference I have.
